Question
Answer
show The principles of nonmoving electrical charges.  
🗑
Electrodynamics   show
🗑
show A metal or other substance with electrons that are free to produce a current.  
🗑
Insulators   show
🗑
show A property of matter  
🗑
show The SI unit (abbreviated as C) equal to the electrical charge of 6.25 x 1018 electrons. This is a negative number for a negative charge; a positive charge of 1 C is equal to the same number of protons.  
🗑
show  
🗑
show The principle that electrostatic force increases directly as the product of the two charges increases. The force decreases in an inverse relation with the square of the distance between the two objects.  
🗑
Inverse square law   show
🗑
show Friction, contact, and induction  
🗑
Electrification   show
🗑
show The resistance caused by one object moving against or through another. Friction is also one of three forms of electrification of an object; it occurs by rubbing electrons off one object and depositing them on another.  
🗑
Contact   show
🗑
Induction   show
🗑
Electric potential   show
🗑
The concentration of charges on a curved surface of a conductor will be greatest:   show
🗑
When your charged fingertip touches a doorknob and creates a static spark, this is electrification by?   show
🗑
The smallest unit of negative charge resides with which of the following?   show
🗑
Why do we base the measure of electric charge on electrons?   show
🗑
show Electric potential  
🗑
show The unit of measurement (abbreviated as V) for electric potential; the difference in electric potential between two points.  
🗑
Current   show
🗑
Resistance   show
🗑
show The SI unit for current flow (abbreviated as A), or amount of charge per second, or how many electrons are flowing past a particular point in the current in 1 second; 1 A equals 1 coulomb flowing by in 1 second.  
🗑
show The SI unit for resistance, shown by the Greek letter omega  
🗑
show Ampere  
🗑
show Ampere=Coulombs/Seconds  
🗑
Direct current (DC)   show
🗑
show The type of current in which electrons alternate direction of flow as the electric potential switches back and forth.  
🗑
The amount of resistance of a conductor depends on what four things?   show
🗑
show Volts  
🗑
In which medium will electrons jump between electrodes?   show
🗑
show Current  
🗑
Which of the following is measured as the ratio of energy to charge?   show
🗑
What unit of measure is based on the resistance of a standard volume of mercury?   show
🗑
Electric circuit   show
🗑
show A section of special wire, usually encased in glass, that quickly melts if the current flowing through it rises too high.A  
🗑
show If the current flowing through it rises above a certain level, the circuit breaker flips its internal switch to open the circuit and stop the electric flow. Circuit breakers protect against short circuits and shock hazards.  
🗑
show Something that is able to absorb electrical charges.  
🗑
An electrical device with an abundance of electrons will do which of the following when grounded?   show
🗑
Which of the following is a common conductor? Plastic, copper, glass, or wood?   show
🗑
show They have few free electrons  
🗑
A closed circuit will conduct electricity. T or F?   show
🗑
Allows electrons to flow in only one direction   show
🗑
show Positive  
🗑
The movement of which of the following is most often recognized as electricity?   show
🗑
Which of the following will move in solid conductors?   show
🗑
According to Coulomb's law, what will happen to the electrostatic force between two charges if the distance between them is cut in half?   show
🗑
When electrons are rubbed off one object and deposited to another, this is electrification by:   show
🗑
show Increases  
🗑
Which of the following are required for electric current to exist?   show
🗑
show Low  
🗑
In which media will ions drift towards the oppositely charged electrode?   show
🗑
show Resistance  
🗑
Nonmetals make the best conductors? T or F?   show
🗑
Which of the following is a common insulator? Plastic, aluminum, water or gold?   show
🗑
An open circuit will conduct electricity? T or F?   show
🗑
What purpose does a circuit breaker serve in an electric circuit?   show
🗑
An electrical device with a deficiency of electrons will do which of the following when grounded?   show
🗑
